Rebelious rules by Kristina Gallo

  "I will read your book if you read and review mine." This is an example of author's deal when it comes time for reviews. Reviews is hard to get. If you sell books, it is still not guarantee you will get reviews. If I could get a review for every book I sold, it would be great. People will buy book to collect it on the shelves and leave it un-read. Or, they will read but not rate it. Many reasons are for not getting reviews, but some people don't know where and how to write reviews or are not eligible. That is the reason why authors will turn to other authors, with a proposition for review. The danger of such review is on Amazon rules: author can't review other's author books on request. I love to read indie authors and they inspire me, but I have my circle and I never accept offers to read someone I never heard about. Once I got a proposition :" Hey, I saw your review for XX author, can you write it for me, too?" I ignored it. When you have a deal ...

Nowadays are many things online and it is impossible to keep reader's attention too long. A long descriptions and blurbs are contra-productive.

Younger readers are used to technology and this is adjustment for a new audience.

Many people asked me: " Why do you write in English language?" I tried to write for Croatian market, I was columnist for internet portals, but I was not paid. It was impossible to get money from my articles, so I gave up from this.  Eight years ago, I decided to write on English. My blog was active and I collected some posts from my blog in my first book "Lost in the virtual world." After this, I released my second book "Get over your ex lover." I will not forget the moment when my book got a one star review. This was my welcome greetings in Amazon. Since then, I am progressing and my book number 20 is on the way. I don't like when people post me reviews like " It would look better with a help of editor. " I worked with five different editors and my style developed for better. I would appreciate reviews based on the content of my books. When someone pull fingers on grammar mistakes, they want to offer you services and ask for money. Scammers ...

Amazon have 23 markets opened around the world where you can buy books online. Like most indie authors, I am doing advertising.  My books are sold in USA, UK, India, Netherlands, Japan, Germany, France, Spain, Australia and Canada. It looks very succesful but investment is bigger than a profit.  Doing ads is a hard work. The author must reach: Visibility - many readers must get access to books  Interest - many readers must be interested to read Buyers - readers must decide to buy books among many authors I noticed my blog visits raised recently, so if you read this blog, check out my Amazon.
